dc.description.abstractThe research work focuses on graduate unemployment and how the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has helped in curbing it in Kaduna state. The work is aimed at determining the cause and effect of Graduate Unemployment in Nigeria, highlight various policies and programmes put in place by the Government to curb unemployment, assess the National Directorate of Employment and find out problems (if any) hindering the effective performance of the directorate and provide possible solutions. Data was collected from both primary and secondary data while the systematic sampling method was used in determining the sample size and the opportunistic sampling method was used in its administration. Statistical tables and charts were used in the data analysis while the Average Mean Score method was used for the test of hypotheses formulated. The three hypotheses which states “that inadequate awareness of the activities of the National Directorate of Employment has led to poor enrollment”, that inadequate skills acquisition has led to a rise in graduate unemployment in Kaduna state” and “that poor funding has undermined the effectiveness of the National Directorate of Employment Kaduna state” were accepted. It was discovered that inadequate awareness and poor funding of the activities of the NDE in Kaduna State undermined its activity, and that skills acquisition is an effective tool in reducing graduate unemployment. Consequently, specific skills acquisition schemes have been recommended as elements that could empower unemployed graduates; that specific skills acquisition schemes should be included in the curriculum of post-secondary schools. Organizing symposia, seminars and using the media were some of the recommendations made for improvement on the awareness of the activities of the National Directorate of Employment.en_US
